Movement beneath the upholstery

Repos conceals its synchronised mechanism inside the upholstered backrest. Vitra says it adjusts to the sitter's weight and supports the back through the reclining range, with a locking device for the chosen position.

Repos & Grand Repos

Vitra groups Repos with Grand Repos and a matching ottoman. The shared family facts are recorded here as the representative article: removable covers, two seat heights and manually adjustable backrest resistance.
